What if your next application took one afternoon?
Most charity fundraisers spend two full days on a single application. Here's where the time goes — and how it changes with a co-pilot.
20 hours per application
Research the funder, re-read the guidance, draft in Word, check word counts by hand, re-draft. Two full working days per application.
With your co-pilot, your first draft is ready in minutes.
Wrong funder, wasted effort
Applying to funders who were never going to fund you — wrong region, wrong cause, wrong size. Those 20 hours deserved a better target.
Match scores show you which funders fit before you start writing.
Staring at a blank form
You know what your charity does. Finding the right 200 words for this particular funder is the hard part.
Your co-pilot writes the first draft. You make it yours.
Here's what that afternoon looks like.

In Tower Hamlets, 1 in 4 women aged 18-35 report significant mental health challenges, yet fewer than 30% access formal support. Cultural barriers, long NHS waiting lists, and a lack of culturally sensitive services leave hundreds of women isolated...

Questions you're probably asking
Will funders know it's AI-written?
No. Your co-pilot uses your charity's real name, numbers, and impact data — not generic filler. The drafts read like they were written by a fundraising consultant, not a chatbot. You review and edit every word before it leaves the platform.
Is this just ChatGPT with a different wrapper?
No. Your co-pilot has your charity profile, the funder's priorities, eligibility criteria, and grant ranges pre-loaded. It writes to the specific word limit, checks against 8 quality criteria, and formats answers for the exact question being asked. ChatGPT can't do any of that.
How accurate is the funder matching?
We match on six dimensions: cause area, geography, organisation size, legal entity type, grant range, and thematic alignment. Our database of 3,500+ funders is researched and verified. Match scores reflect how well each funder fits your charity — not just keyword overlap.
I'm a one-person fundraising team. Is this for me?
Yes — that's exactly who we built this for. If you're writing applications alone and don't have a team to review your work, the 8-point quality check acts as your second pair of eyes. Most solo fundraisers say it cuts their application time in half.
What if I already know which funders I want to apply to?
Skip the matching. Search for your funder by name, select them, and start writing immediately. The co-pilot will still have their priorities and eligibility loaded so your draft is aligned to what they're looking for.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Sign up free and see 4 matched funders with scores — no credit card required. Upgrade to Pro for £19/month to unlock all matches, AI writing tools, and more.
Do I need to enter payment details to try it?
No. You can sign up and start using Fundermatcher immediately — no credit card, no payment details. You only pay if you decide to upgrade for full access.
What happens after I sign up?
You'll describe your charity in a few sentences, and within 60 seconds you'll have your first set of ranked funder matches. Pick a funder, paste an application question, and your co-pilot writes the first draft. Most people have a finished draft within an hour of signing up.
How long does it take to write my first application?
Most users complete their first draft in under an hour. The co-pilot handles the heavy lifting — writing to the word limit, aligning with funder priorities, and structuring your answers. You refine and submit.
What if I'm not sure which funder to apply to?
That's exactly what the matching is for. Describe your charity and your project, and Fundermatcher ranks 3,500+ funders by how well they fit. You'll see match scores, grant ranges, and eligibility criteria before you start writing.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your charity data is encrypted and never shared with other users. We don't use your applications to train AI models. Your work stays yours. For full details, see our terms and conditions.
Everything you need to write winning applications

Project-specific search
Don't just match on your charity profile. Describe a specific project and find funders scored against the actual work — not a generic summary. Higher scores, better fit.
- Describe your project: title, beneficiaries, activities, outcomes
- Run multiple project searches, each with its own results tab
- Click "Write" on any match to start drafting — the AI already has your project context
Application pipeline
A visual kanban board to track every application from first contact to outcome. Drag cards between columns as you progress — To Do, In Progress, Submitted, and beyond.
- Drag-and-drop between status columns
- Progress bars show questions answered per funder
- Record outcomes to build a history of what works
AI writing co-pilot
Paste the funder's question and word limit. Your co-pilot writes a first draft using your charity's real name, numbers, and impact — not generic filler.
- Pre-loaded with your profile and the funder's priorities
- Iterative: ask for rewrites, expansions, or a different angle
- Drafts to exact word limits automatically
8-point quality check
Every answer is checked against the criteria experienced fundraisers look for: clear ask, beneficiary focus, funder alignment, measurable outcomes, local context, credibility, plain English, and a strong opening.
- Pass/fail on each criterion with explanations
- One click to ask the AI to fix failing points
- Run it as many times as you like
